Easy peasy and so delicious.  This low-FODMAP One-Pan Italian Chicken with Vegetables is a flavorful, nutritious and satisfying dinner for the whole family.

Making this low-FODMAP Italian Chicken in one pan means simple prep and clean up.  Using low-FODMAP Happy Spice Italian Seasoning makes it even easier.  This low-FODMAP Italian Chicken goes perfectly with my low-FODMAP Rice-Quinoa and low-FODMAP White Wine Risotto recipes.

Ingredients

  • 6 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, ensure gluten-free if necessary
  • 2 teaspoons low-FODMAP Happy Spice Italian Seasoning
    • Can substitute 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon sage)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, left whole
    • about 4 low-FODMAP servings per pint
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 3 medium carrots
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (omit for dairy-free version)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Baking spray
  • Flaked sea salt (optional for serving)

Directions

  • Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax paper and using a meat tenderizer, pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness
  • Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and place in a large resealable bag
  • In a large measuring cup or mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, low-FODMAP Happy Spice Italian seasoning, black pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pour half of this marinade mixture into the resealable bag with the chicken
  • Seal the bag (removing as much air as possible), then tip the bag around to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated
  • Place bag in the refrigerator to marinade for 30 minutes or overnight
    • I place it flat on the baking pan
  • While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables
  • Peel the carrots and cut the zucchini and peeled carrots into 3/4 inch slices
  • Place the vegetables (prepared carrots, zucchini and whole tomatoes) in a second resealable bag
  • Pour in the remaining balsamic marinade mixture, seal, and place in the refrigerator next to the chicken (to marinate also)
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F
  • Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with baking spray
  • Arrange the vegetables and chicken on the pan, with the chicken towards the center, not covered by any vegetables
    • The chicken will shrink as it cooks
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F
    • Cooking time will vary based on the size of your chicken and how thinly you have pounded it
    • If the vegetables are not as tender as you would like when the chicken is done, you can remove the chicken from the pan (transfer it to a plate and cover) then return the pan with the vegetables to the oven and continue baking until the vegetables have completed cooking
      • In my oven, 17 minutes was perfect for it all to cook
  • Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan, flaked sea salt and chopped parsley before serving
  • Low-FODMAP Italian Chicken is fork-tender!

  1. Another flavorful and easy recipe that I could make ahead, marinate in the fridge, and have ready to go after work. This recipe was a hit with the whole family, and I could easily add rice as a side if we were feeding more people, although we got full on just the chicken and veggies tonight. Best part — one pan to clean up. 🙂 Thank you!!

  2. I was recently put on the fodmap diet for wait and see kind of situation. Just made this tonight and it was really easy and good. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a healthy satisfying and tasty recipe. Will make again.

    Tried this for first dinner on low FODMAP diet. It was so easy, delicious and my whole family liked it. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.

  4. My mom recently started a low FODMAP diet, and has been cooking lots of low FODMAP meals. She brought me leftovers of this dish and I loved it, but I was wondering how many calories are in a serving, because I need to make sure my meals have enough calories for my medication to be properly absorbed. Thank you for posting so many delicious low FODMAP recipes.

  6. Hi there, I’m making this right now but there’s no mention of the tomatoes in the method – do they go in at the marinade stage or get added at the cooking stage? Thanks!

    1. Hi Liz,
      The tomatoes are included with the vegetables that go into the second marinade bag. We have clarified this in the directions. Thank you for the question!

    1. Sorry about your experience Agnes. There should be a tang to the flavor, but it should not taste like vinegar. Thanks for your thoughts.

  7. Hi Dr. Paul. I went on your site to order the Happy Spice but it is not available. Since you mention it in this recipe, could you share what is in that so I can make this dish as you intended?

    1. Hi Rhonda,
      Thank you for trying! Sorry I have had to stop production recently. I have added a substitution to the recipe. Good luck!
